MDC ModelIn order to come as close as possible to the sound of historical instruments, Egger makes replicas according to traditional methods. All tubes as well as the bell of the instrument are made from Nuremburg brass, soldered from hammered brass sheets and therefore show a soldering seam. The garland is hand engraved and silver plated, while the ball and ferrules are engraved according to the originals and also silver plated. The MDC trumpet is burnished by hand according to historical methods before it is polished.

For the ProfessionalOur instruments and accessories are personally chosen by Barry Bauguess to meet the most demanding needs of the professional Baroque trumpet artist. We personally play and test all our instruments. If we wouldn't play an instrument in concert, neither should you.
